I got a free set of Toyota springs, and have a set of Toyota axles. So I would like to know the pros and cons of the Toyota springs vs the YJ springs. They seem to be the same length, and if I have to I'd be will to remove a leaf to get some more flex. Just seems there has to be a reason why everyone is on the YJ wagon. Thanks

I need new springs anyway because the YJ's I have now are almost frowning with just the light weight of the samurai. If I get yota springs which ones am I looking for? And someone mentioned that the rear springs will extend the wheelbase 5" per end... These may be a great option for the rear of my zuk, because my front is all done and the steering is perfect, my pitman arm just clears my drag link. So I don't wanna screw with the front axle/springs.

78-83 have about 1.5-2" more free arch than the later years, For most, that just means more lift, but if you run a higher free arched spring, that is softer, you get good spring action in the rougher stuff at speed. The spring is able to rebound faster, without compromising compression (As a stiffer spring would).

I'm running 86+ (IFS truck) springs in the front of mine, with a few added leaves for a 5 leaf pack, & a stripped down '82, 3 leaf pack in the rear.

Ihabe yjs front and rear with the sky kit. The front end is stating the way it is because my pitman arm clears my tie rod by like 3/8". I'd like to extend my wheelbase out in the back. Yj springs are 42.5" eye -eye. What are toys and what are xj's? Everyone seems to say swap this, swap that, but they can be kinda vague. Do I need to move perches? What all needs to be done besides lengthening the driveshaft and relocating the fuel tank
